Border Force disarray as candidates are judged ‘not suitable’

Share via

The Home Office has suffered an embarrassing setback in its attempt to find a
permanent head for the UK Border Force after none of the potential
candidates was judged suitable for the job.

A second temporary head of the force is to take over next month while another
recruitment process takes place.

The failure to find a strong candidate means that a permanent head will not be
in place until next year, more than 12 months after Brodie Clark was forced
to resign in a row over relaxed passport checks.
